The Task Your task is to join a team of exhibitors to create an interactive exhibit that demonstrates the concepts of gravitational force and how they relate to motion. You will use the web-quest to complete your investigation on force and motion. Your task is to help elementary students understand these complex ideas and principles. Your team will create a presentation that will guide a group of Fourth grade elementary students through your assigned topic.
